upthread reminds me of this immortal epic which made me laugh so hard I got a bit scared
anagrams for Kenny Loggins

Thanks for that.

Why is Leo Slayer not mentioned on this thread? Perhaps because it actually justifies the form.

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 19 July 2020 13:55 (five years ago)

I admit to willfully ignoring the thread title and posting a band name simply because it fits the pattern, rather than because I think the band is bad, though they may well be (I've never heard them).

And Martin Mull's "blues" song was by Blind Lemon Pledge.

(For the non-USers, Pledge is a furniture polish, that comes in a lemon scented version.)

How quickly we have forgotten Gnarls Barkley.

Lary Gewis and the Bayploys

stank viola (Neanderthal), Monday, 17 October 2022 18:50 (three years ago)

thing about these bands is, they all had to (probably still have to) go around telling all their friends and family and peers what the name of their new band was, and they stuck to their guns. for which they get some grudging respect from me

henry cow is technically one of these bands (they lied about their name) but they're too good for the rest of these jokers - I assume, having heard of none of them before this poll

your original display name is still visible (Left), Monday, 17 October 2022 18:54 (three years ago)

What is Henry Cow a pun of?

“uhh”—like, this is an insane oatmeal raisin cookie “uhh” (President Keyes), Monday, 17 October 2022 18:57 (three years ago)
